However, some people get confused and mix this therapy with massage. This is because both of them include the use of hands for application.

Let us know about the difference between the two in detail:

Application approach

Also known as reflex zone therapy, Reflexology is applied at the salons in Kingston, it is implemented only on certain areas like hands, feet and ears and the pressure is stimulated by applying pressure to different points. Whereas massage is applied to the entire body and body parts for the local benefit. It is always better to choose the prior over the latter as it has more benefits.

Technique touch

When the reflex zone therapy is used, small amount of pressure is applied by the therapists using minor muscular movements with the help of thumbs and fingers. During the massage procedure, a lot of muscle movement is involved including arms, elbows and feet. If you are visiting a spa centre in Richmond, you can also opt for a combo of manicure and zone therapy. You will love it!

Assorted aftereffects

The aftereffects of massage and reflex therapy are quite different. Reflex therapy works quite well on the organs, glands and other systems of the body. Whereas massage works only on the outer parts. If you visit a spa or a saloon in Kingston, do make sure if they provide this therapy or not. Also confirm whether the professionals are trained to give this therapy.

If you want your entire body to relax internally and externally, you must choose to go for this treatment at a good spa centre in Richmond. Pedicure, manicure, spa and various other treatments are also available at these places. Make sure you choose the best one to rejuvenate. Start relaxing now!
